Here’s How You Make It
Why This Recipe Works
Two-for-one — With just one simple buttermilk biscuit dough and one pan, you are getting two varieties of biscuits after baking – cheddar and chive for the savory biscuit fans and golden honey butter for those who just can’t resist that hint of cinnamon honey sweetness. Simple ingredients — I stick to easy-to-find ingredients like flour, butter, cheese, honey, and spices you already have in your spice cabinet. Easily doubles — Got a crowd? These will have you covered. This recipe makes 12 (6 sweet and six savory) but you can easily double (or triple) for those special occasions…or when you just need all the leftovers. Done in 40 minutes — If you don’t have a lot of time, that’s okay, these flaky biscuits only take 20 minutes to prep and about 20 to cook, so you can have these hot and on the table in no time!
Expert Tips
Don’t separate these easy buttermilk biscuits on the baking sheet. Biscuits should be touching on the sides – this helps them to rise high and develop those deliciously flaky layers we love! For easier cutting-in of the butter for the biscuits, use a box grater to shave the butter into the flour mixture rather than using a fork or pastry cutter. Once you try it this way, you’ll never go back! Although I like to spread the honey butter on top of the buttermilk biscuits right out of the oven, there’s nothing that says you shouldn’t make a little extra honey butter and serve it on the side. A little on top, a little inside…a whole lotta delicious. When cutting out the biscuits, be sure to only press down and pull back up — do not twist the cutter as it will seal the edges of the biscuits and not allow them to rise to their full potential! Want to make a cheddar and rosemary variation? Simply omit the chives and add 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary.
